Chapter 442 How About Sleeping Together With Me

“Go and have a rest now then. I’ll take good care of them,” Darius urged Arissa again in a reassuring tone.

Prevailed by Gavin’s discomfort, Arissa could not sleep at all.

“I’ll wait till the doctor comes and has a look at him,” she uttered resolutely. The others could only give in to her

when she insisted on staying by Gavin’s side.

Meanwhile, Gavin could only lie in bed and continue to pretend that he was not feeling well.

“Mommy, how about you sleep together with me?” he asked.

Stroking Gavin’s hair hanging over his forehead, Arissa replied gently, “It’s all right. I’m not sleepy. Are you feeling

any other discomfort?”

Wearing a look of utter apprehension, her frown deepened into a scowl. Her gut instinct told her that Gavin had not

recovered properly after falling ill the previous day.

“Mommy, I might have overeaten,” Gavin stated softly.

After casting her eyes on him, Arissa assigned Zachary to get Edwin to prepare a glass of lemon water for Gavin.

Jasper and Zachary rushed downstairs without thinking twice.

“Old Mr. Graham, take a seat,” Arissa greeted Darius courteously.

The older man nodded. “Sure.”

“Grandpa, here you go.” Oliver carried a chair over and pulled Darius’ hand.

Rubbing his head, Darius flashed him and Jesse a smile. “All right. Go and have some fun now. I’ll accompany

Gavin.”

“We’re thinking of accompanying Gavin too!” Jesse emphasized as she beamed sweetly.

Darius suddenly recalled that he had not seen Benjamin since he stepped into the house. Stroking his

grandaughter’s hair affectionately, he asked curiously, “Where’s your daddy?”

“He’s not at home.” The girl looked at him innocently.

Darius’ forehead creased into a frown as he turned to look at Arissa. “Has Benjamin already left early in the

morning?”

Arissa glanced at him and explained, “He never came home after going out with you last night. According to him,

he’s on a business trip.”

“A business trip?” Darius furrowed his brows before asking, “Why didn’t he mention a single word about that to

me?”



Right that instant, Zachary and Jasper brought in the lemon water for Gavin. “Mommy, we got the lemon water.”

“Okay. I’ll let Gavin drink it.” The next moment, she carried Gavin up and placed him on her lap. After that, she let

him take a sip of the lemon water. “Sweetheart, drink some lemon water first. Let’s give it a try and see if you’ll feel

better.”

Fearing that his stomach would be bloated again, she only let him take a few mouthfuls.

“Mommy, I still want more.” Gavin licked his lips.

“Wait for a while more, okay? You can’t drink so much in one go. What if your stomach gets bloated again?” Arissa

coaxed him.

“Okay,” Gavin responded obediently. At the sight of an exhausted Arissa, he was overcome by a sense of intense

guilt. We shouldn’t have lied to Mommy. After a sleepless night, she is worried about me again.

He shot Zachary a glance instinctively, but the latter hinted at him to hold his tongue.

“Why isn’t Shaun here yet?” Like a cat on hot bricks, Darius called Shaun, urging him, “Shaun, are you here yet?

Hurry up! Gavin is not feeling well!”

Right after he hung up, the sound of someone closing the door of a car sounded from downstairs.

“Gavin, hang on. Uncle Shaun is here,” Darius consoled the boy gently.

“Okay,” Gavin replied sheepishly.

Zachary and the others dashed toward the door, cranking their necks to catch a glimpse.

The moment they caught sight of Shaun, they rushed toward him hurriedly. “Mr. Bailey, you’re finally here!”

The doctor grabbed hold of the kids darting toward him and asked anxiously, “How is Gavin?”

“He’s feeling discomfort,” Jesse chimed in solemnly, knitting her brows. Anyone would easily believe her that Gavin

was very sick.

“I’ll check on him now.” Shaun was about to quicken his pace.

However, Zachary grabbed hold of his arm and stood in his way. “Uncle Shaun, I need to tell you something.”

Perplexed, Shaun looked at him for a while and stated, “Tell me later, okay? I have to attend to Gavin first.”

Zachary knew he had to be extra careful so Edwin would not sense anything amiss. Thus, he hinted at Shaun with

some finger movements on his palm while heading toward the room with him.

Puzzled, Shaun turned to look at Zachary.
